Im going for a starchy meal as well tomorrow, going to try and make chicken pasta bake from scratch with whole wheat pasta! Normally Id buy a jar of sauce but gonna see what I can do with a tin of tomatoes!

I love baked pasta! Wish me luck!

 

[Paulinegin]

I love baked pasta!

Seconded!

[xeilidhx]

I've never made pasta bake...

Anyone any idea how much uncooked pasta is 200g cooked?! Seems loads! Do u think we can use lasagne sheets?

 

[Zoesastar]

Pasta bake with white pasta and sauce out of a jar is what stalled me at 10st! Quick and easy yummy meals

Depends how much water the dried weight absorbs apparently!
Im sure whole wheat lasagne sheets are fine???

 

[alottolose]

I'd guess and say that pasta probably re-hydrates on a 1:1 ratio, so 100g of pasta would become 200g when rehydrated - probably worth cooking 100g and then weighing after draining - any surplus fling or store for another day....that's what I'd do x

 

[Zoesastar]

I just looked it up online and recon 75g dry amounts to 200g boiled weight, we're not allowed more than 220g boiled

Went to buy new glasses today- stress!

 

[Zoesastar]

I've never made pasta bake...

It was yummy!!!

 

[sididd]

Great menu and feel your pain, buying new glasses, when there's hundreds to choose from mega stress xxx

 

[xeilidhx]

Aw Sid it's the drama when they've made you remove your lenses- I couldn't see the flipping glasses!! Girl in shop was brutally honest and I treated myself to two pairs. One zebra striped that she didn't like but I did hahah!

 

[sididd]

I'm the same contacts, but last week I became the proud owner of varifocals for the first time, don't know what I was thinking of, I hate the frames but love the varifocal...but only for work so don't ware them outside. Look like someone from the grease film lol

 

[Zoesastar]

Im really short sighted (or is it sited?), Ive been wearing contact lenses for over 10 years so I dont have to go through the stress of having to keep choosing glasses! The last time I did they ended up costing over £100!!! I only wear them in the evening and weekend mornings!

Show us your new goggles then!!

 

[xeilidhx]

Don't get them until next Saturday! I wear lenses too, but like specs for when my eyes are irritated!! Unfortunately lost my last two pairs in my house move and my older ones are 1. Missing a leg pair 2: scraped and squint and pair 3 also missing a leg (perhaps 2?!) so it was needed!!

Conso day 5

Not so good today- been out most of day so I've hardly eaten

B: dukan porridge with skimmed milk and sweetner

2 glasses sweetner and skimmed milk. Naughty

L: toast and cheese (within conso allowances. 1 slice and 40g)

Snack :

2 sf jelly
Roast fridge raiders in absolute desperation

On the boat home now and having a gala meal with mum and dad. Looking forward to it! Although it scares me too! I've planned nights out etc around gala for the next few weeks so I'm hoping I don't get carried away with them!!

Planned shrimps to start (maybe more bread!). Then scampi and chips (with tartare and tomato sauce yay!) then ice cream (Italian locally made- amazing!!). Excited to have a meal with mum and dad where they're not worrying about what I eat etc! X

 

[anjuschka]

Brilliant - hope you're enjoying you meal tonight!

Re Glasses - I'm the same. I'm really really short-sighted so had lenses since about age 16. But I also use my proper glasses, I'm wearing them now for example after my eyes got too irritated visiting a windy chalk pit (nature reserve) this afternoon. The varifocal idea is creeping up on me now, for now I get away with lenses & fairly weak reading glasses which I still don't wear that much except for knitting! When I am wearing my proper short-sighted glasses don't have that option of course Re: choosing glasses: my optician in Germany, maybe 15 years ago had a digital camera set-up that showed you your various options side-by on screen, after you had put your proper glasses back on. I'm sure shops here do that too? I've not needed it since as I am always wearing my lenses to pick glasses these days.

 

[xeilidhx]

They do have that anja but it wasn't on... Shop was closing and I felt like a pain!!

Gala meal was lovely.

Potted shrimps with 1 oatcake

Scampi and oven chips with a wee bit onion (lots of scampi). Tomato sauce, tartare and a wee bit light mayo.

Vanilla ice cream (wee bit)

Then a 50-60 minute walk!
